You mad chuddie? This is what hard work and discipline brings you. Maybe if you stopped sitting in your computer chair all day eating junk food, this could be you too. Stop being lazy and put in the work. Why are chudcels literally communists?
>>
Why would I be mad. Musk is one of the few men on earth who actually deserves his wealth. Everyone else is a parasite, especially the working class.

He works 1 trillion times harder than any of you zoomers. This is what pulling yourself up by your boot straps looks like.

I'd rather be poor and homeless than have a tranny son.

Bruh.

We should just tax him on his trillion then, like 10% would probably be enough to euthanize all pitbulls or some other good cause like that.
>NO you IDIOT, he doesn't have it LIQUID, it's in valuations of his stock he just IPO'd plus his other ones!
So then he's not actually a trillionaire, right? He doesn't actually have a trillion, there's just a chunk of people who think in theory he could sell some assets that he does have and get a trillion, even though everyone agrees he could never actually do that since there wouldn't be a buyer and selling would likely cause the value to crash quickly before he could get his trillion out.

They talk out both sides of their mouths. We're supposed to be impressed that he's a trillionaire but if you talk about taxing the trillion you get suddenly and breathlessly told by internet randos that he doesn't have it.

I'm anti government subsidies. I think government should stay out of business.

Also pointing out the fact that Elon hasn't actually invented anything isn't pro communism.

>>537520096
Elon Musk is the US President.

Its impossible for humans to intuitively understand how much a trillion is. We haven't evolved for it.

A common comparison is in seconds:
>A million seconds is about 12 days.
>A billion seconds is about 32 years.
>A trillion seconds is about 32000 years.
Notice the difference. Each step is 1000 times the previous.

A trillionaire making the expected 4% passive return on investment will be making more than $1000 per second. No work, no production, passive returns.
At this rate, you have no choice but to buy out everything all the time. That money has to go somewhere, and where it goes, it increases. A trillionaire will suck more and more resources and assets and potential profits away from the economy, into his own net worth.

We shouldn't have trillionaires.

The rapid accumulation of assets by billionaires as they turn trillionaires and further beyond isn't only the cause of YOUR and YOUR FAMILY's loss of wealth and assets, it is the exact same thing.
Elon Musk getting richer is the exact same thing as you getting poorer. All his exess wealth goes into buying assets and resources, which drives up their price, when makes them unaffordable to you. Trillionaires existing creates and Everything Bubble, because they literally buy everything everywhere all the time with all that surplus money, and the price of everything goes up due to their insatiable demand.

Musk being a trillionaire isn't just a cause of you being poor, its the same thing as you being poor. Its not corelation, its equation.

Yah but what is that adjusted for inflation. You say trillion but ten years ago even it's probably 500 billion. That's how much our money is devalued. We are 40 trillion in debt we can't pay off cuz interest to the loan sharks. Why even what did we do that costs 40 trillion so much? Wars in Afghanistan for heroin? They probably send it back in body bags like they did in vietnam. It's all bullshit but if I had to pick a billionaire I like it'd be Elon.
>>
Would becoming the world's third trillionaire be the equivalent of getting digits because of the "tri" element?
>>
>>537522748
Money is devalued because Musk is a trillionaire. His surplus money sucking up all assets is what inflation means.

Inflation equals Musk is a trillionaire equals you cant buy a house. These are the exact same thing.
